Spoiler alert: This post discusses events from the Temptation Island Season 9 finale.
We may only be a few months into 2025, but it looks like the year’s most controversial couple has already been discovered. Brion Whitley caused chaos on Netflix’s new iteration of Temptation Island, blatantly cheating on his girlfriend Shanté Glover with multiple women. Despite Brion fully admitting to having a threesome with two temptresses (and even brazenly stating he had no remorse about it at the time), Shanté shocked viewers by agreeing to take him back at the final bonfire. But with all the stress the show put on their relationship, are the two still together today? Here’s the deal.
Shanté’s patience was put to the ultimate test on Temptation Island. While she remained steadfastly loyal to her boyfriend, he wasted no time flirting up a storm once they were separated. Right from the start, Brion confessed that a main reason he came to the island was to contend with his high sex drive and passion for threesomes, which had become a problem for Shanté. And although he did claim to have grown beyond that carnal desire in the end, it wasn’t until after Shanté saw Brion hook up with tempters Alex and Courtney in his shower.
Going into her final decision, Shanté’s friends in her villa encouraged her to do what she felt was right. Surprisingly, she ended up giving Brion another chance, noting that she waws hopeful he had finally changed his ways.
But things have changed since the show filmed. When it aired in March, Shanté and Brion confirmed they were still together a year later. They even credited Brion’s threesome as being a positive catalyst to help their relationship deepen. “As sad as it is and as annoying as it is, I don’t know that we would’ve had those conversations if that didn’t happen,” Shanté told Netflix’s Tudum. “We could have just been down this bad spiral of not really knowing how each other feels … I could tell it was more physical and not an emotional thing?”
The reconciliation didn’t last long, though. On April 8, Shanté posted a note confirming that she and Brion “decided to part ways.”
Despite the online chatter around their relationship, Shanté wrote there’s “no bad blood” and she wishes “nothing but the best” for her ex.
